What an incredibly naive and ignorant way to remove any responsibility towards a manager. I presume when we lost 7 nil and Mowbray was understandably on the chopping block that you just solely blamed the players for that too? They despite more than long enough in the job are so reliant on individual brilliance to win them games because they are far from well drilled or disciplined. With the players they have and the money spent they should at least be competitive with the other big teams but they arent. You look at Chelsea, Abramovic again made a strong decision to bring in a top class manager and he has Chelsea playing a specific style and is getting the best from them in much less time. If you dont think that a good manager could get much more from an underperforming set of talented players then we clearly dont watch the same sport.

You dont think that Solskjaer is a poor manager? Wow! Everytime they play a good team they get swatted away and cant even compete, which considering their squad and the money spent is not good enough. Because even compared to those 2 clubs, United are I would suggest quite possibly bigger, certainly more wealthy. Solskjaer hasnt been able to get a consistent tune out of a number of expensively assembled players but other managers will surely fancy a bit of that. Not sure why Pochettino has quite the reputation that Bielsa was a bit of a throwaway suggestion but I dont think hed be able to turn United down. Leeds are not in the same ball park as United and have an unholy amount of injuries but he has done such a good job there, it was purely as a short term suggestion assuming that the various European managers wouldnt join yet of which there is no evidence and in my own absence of a serious in depth knowledge of potential other candidates across the world. Solskjaer is an inept loser but im sure wed agree that wed like them to "continue to struggle! Nagelsmann is a top manager but the situation isnt the same.

Would be an interesting appointment, he has done a good job in Scotland although Celtic have been very much in transition so it has been a one horse race, but he has also done well in Europe during his time there. That being said, I suspect that the Sun are jumping the gun, I read underneath the article on twitter that he is over in London doing some commentary/punditry work.

An absolute disgrace. Can it be questioned at the next fans forum please, it simply is totally illogical.

Absolutely no chance of Jones.

I suspect that it makes no odds as he won't be a Rovers player then anyway, but if he had have been, surely Chile not qualifying for the World Cup would be ideal from a Rovers perspective.

To be honest, I am not sure. I don't doubt that 3 of the very best managers in world football are at the current top 3 teams in the same league. I also can't profess to know European football well enough to recommend many managers outside of the obvious ones, Simeone, Ten Hag, Allegri etc, but I am sure that there are plenty of other top quality managers across the continent. Pochettino wouldn't be top of any list, at Spurs he did improve things but he never won anything and his spell at PSG has been unremarkable it seems, and Ancelotti didn't do anything at Everton. But it is easy to underestimate the size of United and how attractive a job it is in the here and now. The thing is, and I am not sure if it is something that you strongly agree with, no idea, Solskjaer is such a poor manager. Years into his tenure, he couldn't be further away from having a plan, hence his recent desperate attempt to move to 3 at the back, part of the plan considering the signing of an 80m winger in the summer? Clearly not, the tactics are hope that Ronaldo gets you out of the shit, which does happen at times but is not a coherent plan. To be honest, even someone like Bielsa as a short term suggestion wouldn't be absurd. A massive improvement on Solskjaer, a man with a very specific way of playing, well reknown training methods and also someone who would definitely move and who doesn't demand anything longer than a years contract. The Kahn comparison is not a valid one, Kahn crucially is not a former manager, especially not one who has overseen an unprecedented spell of constant success in charge. Everytime an opposition team score, or Solskjaer is questioned it pans to Ferguson in the crowd, he is lingering like a bad smell.

Lets be honest, United are a massive club with a giant budget and can reasonably expect a "worthy manager." I think they could get a top, top manager, although they have acted too late to get Conte. I suppose as you said it may depend on who is available.

It shows how bad the Venkys tenure is that even that bald cretin is merely a symptom of that disease. It is maybe worth reading that just as a reminder too that as Mowbray frustrates basically us all and has outstayed his welcome, he certainly never deserves comparisons to Kean.

It would not be difficult for Man United to find a better manager than Solskjaer. I also think that the continious presence of Charlton and Ferguson overlooking things is unhealthy, they need to look forward. Hopefully they keep Solskjaer as he is a shit manager.

Absolutely incredible that such a big club let such an incompetent manager continue just because he was a former player and scored an important goal.

There is also a growing fascination with style of play based on patronising and flawed principles of what is boring and what isnt. McCarthy and Hughton got sacked because their results werent very good, football is based on results, not categorising types of managers into pigeon holed ideas of how football should be played.

They have done pretty well in Europe under Gerrard and have pulled off some impressive scalps in his time there.

Dont appoint a manager because he did well as a player at a club, example 1, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Presumably as a emotionally driven appointment as a former player.

What if any of the players are not bid for at all by other teams? Or if no teams bid a sufficient amount for us to be willing to accept a bid, especially as our desperation to sell will put us in a poor negotiating position? Or if any of the players choose to decline any offers put their way, especially with the potential of being a free agent potentially able to command a higher signing on fee at the end of the season? All very realistic scenarios, and ones that could lead to us having important players unregistered and frozen out, but no money to replace them as they are still picking up a wage.

It would be cutting off our nose to spite our face if we freeze out important players when there is a strong chance that they may not move on. Our squad is already thin, so if the likes of Nyambe, Rothwell and Lenihan cannot be re-signed, then of course they will need to make them available for transfer. That being said, we cannot take the chance of removing them from the squad altogether in case any of them do not get a transfer that suits them, or no one bids a reasonable amount for them, then what would we do then, considering that they wouldn't be registered? I am ok for cryptic, speculative nonsense.

Wilder obviously has joined Boro today and Warnock implied that a deal had been rumbling on for a while so that guess is wrong. So I am suspecting that all of your money would be on a manager who you said was imminently about to become our manager a year ago!

How a quarter of Premier League teams have sacked their managers yet Solskjaer remains is incredible.

That is totally unfair. Buckley only plays at right back in an emergency, and has become a regular in the centre quicker than I and many others would have envisioned, and has come on leaps and bounds. Rothwell played from the wing when Dack was involved, and even in a couple of years from a central position, there are still When has Travis ever been a creative player? This idea that he has been massively restricted I have always found strange. And again on Brereton, it is not luck nor just down to the player himself. Brereton looked hopeless initially, now he has come on leaps and bounds especially from that left sided position.

How the CEO allegedly telling random fans that the managers job was on the line is anything other than totally unprofessional is beyond me. Totally undermining the manager and not something that should happen or would happen at a well run football club.

What if we somehow went up?

Why? Would be a huge gamble.
